What a year... been a while, but welcome back!

I have a special treat for you guys today. A full walkaround top to bottom of my brand new Lowe Stinger 178 17'10" boat with a 115 HP Mercury ProXS CT. A Lowe has been my dream boat for a while now because of the way they size their decks and are capable of running higher than average HP outboards on their aluminums the way manufacturers used to. Their marketing department has done a pretty good job, but have been somewhat lackluster in advertising these rigs as far as what their top speeds are really capable of is concerned, so I did some leg work for them and am bringing you a few speed runs of what this thing can do in the video as well. For a tin rig with what is still considered a "slightly smaller" outboard, this thing is an absolute missile. I won't spoil the speeds in the description, but the fact these things are constructed with pad hull bottoms like what you see on fiberglass boats and are on the shorter side makes them total screamers for a rig less than 18 feet long. Lets just say they are giving Nitro Z17's a run for their money.

Nothing to educate you guys on here in this video, just here to give you a full breakdown if you are in the market for a new rig or just enjoy new boat content.
